NASHVILLE, Oct 17-Nashvile this
morning, had something the appearance of
city in the throes of an exciting national
convention. Middle Tennessee claimed the
President for its own for brief half day,
and had sent its representatives in hun
dreds, from all quarters, to do the honors of
entertainment. The streets of the city were
crowded as they never were before since the
DAYS of Pap Thomas occupancy, and were
decorated from cellar to crest in the richest
conceivable manner. 1t is not strange that
some enthusiast should have imagined
Confederate flag among the odd devices, for
no possible combination of the national
colors seems to be missing Yet search by
responsible authorities failed to bring to
light anything to which the most devoted
loyalist could object. Mammoth pictures
in every grade of artistic excellence spanned
the thoroughfares or covered the fro nts of
prominent buildings, and banners nomi-
mating the guest of the day for a second
term were as thick as blackberrieS
CLEVELAND ASTIR.
The President and all his party at Belle
Meade were early astir this morning, and
after a leisurely breakfast made their way
to the picturesque little railroad station
upon the place and were waiting with Gen.
Jackson, their host, who wore the badges
and regalia of the grand marshal of the day,
when the special train backed up from

or twenty minutes brought the train to the
fair grounds i'll the outskirts of the city,
where the passengers aHghted amid the
pomp and ceremony of the days reception.
The Governor and his guard, mounted,
all brilliantly uniformed and a corps of
marshals, were in attendance. The guests
were placed in carriages, driven within the
fair grounds enclosure and to the handsome
club house of the association, where the
members of the committees, and others con-
nected with the reception ceremonials, were
presented to the President.
AT VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY
At S:45 o'clock the procession for ned and
the march to the city began to the music of
the Presidential salute by the artillery. The
route lay through the fine grounds of Van
derbilt University The pupils of the insti-
tuition were drawn up in front of the uni
versity building, and as the Presidents car
riage came up they received him with
cheers, in acknowledgment of which he
raised his hat and bowed. Chancellor Gar
land addressed the President expressing the
pleasure it gave to all connected with the
Institution to welcome him Students
waved their hats and cheered again, and
the march was resumed. As it proceeded
the several divisions of the procession,
consisting of military and civic organiZa-
tons, benevolent orders, the State, county
and municipal authorities and the city
schools were passed in review, and fell into
their places behind. The principal streets
of the city were traversed, the populace of
all grades and condition being out on the
sidewalks. When the Maxwell House was
reached Mrs. Cleveland and her escort
alighted and entered the hotel in whose
spacious and beautifully adorned parlors
she held a reception to the ladies of Nash
vile.
THE SAFEGUARDING.
The President and the procession made its
way to the Capitol where, upon a stand
erected for the purpose, the necessary for
maties took place. Gov. Taylor's speech
was brief but eloquent expression of the
hospitality of the city.
Mayor Kercheval welcomed the Pres
ident so the city, and Col. A. S. Colyar
also delivered an address of welcome.
